Residuals (住み・墨)
By Shion Skye Carter
Scotiabank Dance Centre, 677 Davie St.
November 4 & 5 2022
Created and performed by the award-winning young choreographer Shion Skye Carter, Residuals (住み・墨) is a captivating solo which draws visual, sonic, and physical influences from Japanese calligraphy. Dynamic brushstrokes inform Carter’s movement as she traverses sheets of translucent paper, evoking an abstracted memory of her Japanese grandparents’ rural home. These memories spark a journey of introspective self-discovery, where the layers of her identity begin to unfurl. The performances on November 4-5, 2022 also include a short new solo, Awake of Dreaming, choreographed by Ziyian Kwan, commissioned by and in collaboration with performer Juolin Lee.
Presented through The Dance Centre’s Iris Garland Emerging Choreographer Award
Co-presented with Powell Street Festival. With support from Canadian Heritage. This presentation is made possible by Dumb Instrument Dance’s sponsorship through City of Vancouver Cultural Services.

Kyōdai
December 3 at 7:30 PM (Doors 7:00 PM)
The Fox Cabaret 2321 Main St. and Streamed online
Sliding-scale tickets $18-$50 (plus processing fee)
Join Japanese Canadian musicians Jason de Cuoto, Prince Shima, and Āza Nabuko as they interrogate their Japanese heritage in a multi-sensory concert experience in collaboration with Powell Street Festival Society and the Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre. Gather with us at the Fox Cabaret as these musicians of varied musical backgrounds explore the theme of kyōdai (siblings) through the lens of curated, sought-after home videos from pre, during, and post WWII Internment, produced by artist and video archivist Jeffery Chong. Kyōdai acts as a rallying call to embrace our heritage, deepen communal bonds, and reveal what’s known and unknown about our relationships past, present, and future.
Also at the event, get your hands on some Powell Street Festival merchandise and chat with friends from the festival over refreshments from the Fox’s bar. Kyōdai will also be live streamed online, so you can take part in this one-of-a-kind sonic and visual experience from anywhere!

Powell Street Festival Society happily invites submissions Canada-wide, across disciplines and levels of experience from those who will be able to complete the large-scale, final design. Please share this call to be shared to those whose work we may not be familiar with yet.
There are three steps to the selection process for this project:
